Hi, I'm Thomas

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious

I started graphic design when I was kid, I then went on to study computer science. After graduating, I founded a few businesses (most of which failed!). Over time, I learned a lot and developed a particular range of skills. I've been described as the glue between Business, Marketing, Design and Tech teams. Although, deep down, I remain a developer.

Now, I develop bespoke web and mobile applications for iOS & Android which are core of my clients businesses.

FindChildcare.net is a platform where child minders can advertise their services and are put in touch with parents looking for childcare. I developed this project in conjunction with a graphic designer.

FastReport provides your team with a fast and easy way to share activity progress, ideas and moods. It encourages open communication which improves efficiency, trust and confidence within your team. This project was internally developed at Groupmates for our own needs.

Groupmates is a tool to help students work together. Messages, files, calendar, notes - everything is in the same place and available on all devices. Born as my final MSc project, my team and I worked together with Entrepreneurial Spark to further develop the idea. We later made it open source.

Travelmuz is a platform to help Muslim couples and families find holiday resorts and accomodation to meet their needs. I was the main developer on this project while working with a graphic designer. I worked on this project in my 4th year of university alongside my honours project

Tour d'images was a university project made for a real client, working in a team of four we had two months to deliver a functional website. This was one of the first team projects I participated at university, from this experience, I learned how to effectively communicate within teams and the importance of understanding the needs of the client.

Having prviously been used for my family's business, the website was revamped in 2015 to meet the needs of the new owners. It was essential that the website was translated into different languages, I gained valuable experience in making multi-lingual Wordpress websites
